Federal Period Antique Miniature Salesman's Sample Apprentice Slant Front Desk

Description

I am selling the Antique Federal Period Miniature Slant Front Desk.
This desk came out of a recent estate with the other miniature furniture that I have listed.
The desk measures 9 1/2" tall, 9 1/2" wide, and about 5" from front to back.
This piece dates to the late 18th or early 19th Century.
It was likely made as a salesman's sample of the furniture maker's work, or made by an apprentice to show the master furniture maker's his skills.
The piece is truly a work of art, notice the dovetails not only on the drawers, but also on the bottom of the case.
This piece retains its original finish and is in excellent condition.
It has one loose glue black and one of the brasses is missing (see photos).
